Car rental at London Heathrow Airport Terminal 4
London Heathrow (LHR) is the UK's most connected international airport and the most direct point of entry from the UAE — with daily non-stop flights arriving from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah. Collecting your SIXT rental car at Terminal 4 puts you on the road immediately, bypassing the queues and transfer times that come with central London rail or coach connections.
The fleet at Heathrow Terminal 4 is broad and consistently refreshed. Choose a spacious SUV for longer drives across England, a minivan for family travel with luggage, or a compact electric sedan for navigating London and its surroundings. Every vehicle comes from a premium brand, and a range of add-ons is available at booking to tailor the rental to your exact trip.
Whether you are heading into London, planning a road trip through the south of England, or combining both, a rental car gives you the freedom and flexibility to see the country on your own terms.
What to know before, during, and after your rental at Heathrow Terminal 4
Before pick-up
- SIXT App: Book before you travel using the SIXT mobile app to manage your reservation, choose your vehicle, and access convenient digital services from the moment you land. Available for iOS and Android.
- Documents: Bring your valid driving licence, a credit card, and a photo ID to the pick-up counter. Your UAE driving licence is valid for car rental in the UK for up to 12 months from your first entry into the country. Please bring your passport to the branch so we can verify your entry date via the immigration stamp. As UAE driving licences contain Arabic script, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is required alongside your original UAE driving licence. Obtain your IDP from the relevant authority in the UAE before departure, as it cannot be issued abroad.
- Minimum age: The minimum age to rent a car at SIXT London Heathrow Terminal 4 is 21.
During the rental
- Drive on the left: Traffic in the UK moves on the left-hand side of the road — the opposite of the UAE. Allow yourself a few minutes at the airport to adjust before joining busier roads, and consider choosing an automatic transmission to simplify the transition.
- Speed limits: The standard speed limit in built-up areas is 30 mph (48 km/h) unless road signs indicate otherwise. Always follow posted signage.
At return
- Fuel service: Save time before your departure by opting for the SIXT fuel service at booking — return the car with an empty tank and no last-minute petrol stop required.
- Flexible return: The Heathrow Terminal 4 drop-off point accepts vehicle returns around the clock via the key drop box.

- Extended protection: A choice of protection packages to suit different trip types, including options designed for families with young children.
- Unlimited mileage: Drive without tracking the odometer — unlimited mileage is available on your rental.
- Additional driver: Add a second driver to the reservation for longer trips where sharing the wheel makes sense.
- Interior protection: Practical cover for journeys with children or pets.
- One-way rental: Dropping off in a different city at the end of a road trip across the UK — check availability at the time of booking.
Heathrow's position on London's western edge makes it an ideal starting point for some of England's most visited destinations:
- Windsor Castle (approx. 8 miles / approx. 20 minutes): One of the world's oldest and largest inhabited castles, Windsor is an easy first stop after landing — particularly suited to visitors on a shorter trip.
- Oxford (approx. 55 miles / under 1 hour): A city defined by its ancient university, medieval architecture, and riverside calm. Drive west along the A40 and allow a full day to explore the colleges, museums, and covered market.
- Bath (approx. 100 miles / approx. 1 hour 30 minutes): A UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its Roman baths and sweeping Georgian terraces. Head southwest via the M4 for one of England's most rewarding city breaks.
